Hello Teachers, Parents, and Students

 Now is a great time to plan a visit to Calvin Coolidge’s Plymouth Notch! Come enter another time as you explore the village where our 30th President grew up. Who lived here and what stories do they share with young Calvin? How was work done on a 19th century farm? What jobs did Calvin do? How do we know about the past? How does someone from this tiny village grow up to be president? What can we learn from him? Would you like to see some of the things he wore and made and used?
